   Does Blue Angel have a Fat Albert aircarft?

   • It doesn’t always get the level of attention and respect as the Blue Angel fighters, but rest assured that without the Fat Albert aircraft, the show would not go on. The Fat Albert aircarft started its iconic role in 1970.

   What happened to the 'Fat Albert' C-130T?

   • The U.S. Navy retired last year the former “Fat Albert” C-130T Bu.No. 164763 that flew more than 30,000 hours with the Blue Angels since 2002, becoming famous also for the spectacular jet-assisted takeoff performed during air shows until the last JATO bottle stocks ran out (something that sadly we won’t see with the new “Fat Albert”).
